Intolerance may be a result of a reaction to naturally occurring chemicals in a food, such as a histamine rash to strawberries.

Um, I thought a histamine reaction was an allergic reaction.

According to an article by Peter H.R. Green, M.D., and Christophe Cellier, M.D., Ph.D. and printed in the New England Journal of Medicine October 2007:

Quote:

Celiac disease is a unique autoimmune disorder, unique because the environmental precipitant is known. The disorder was previously called celiac sprue, based on the Dutch word sprue, which was used to describe a disease similar to tropical sprue that is characterized by diarrhea, emaciation, aphthous stomatitis, and malabsorption.

The last thing we need is more biased opinions being posted as 'fact'.

My own experience has been doctor after doctor thought I had IBS. My last doctor thought I had IBS until he read about Celiac Disease. He now thinks I have both, as I still have some mild IBS symptoms after going GF. I have a friend who went gluten free for a week, and when she ate wheat again, she reacted. However, she can have gluten, just not wheat.
